Especially when she doesn't get biscuits or crisps !!!!

This is my 2nd thread on it , as Im going mental with it.

Ive been trying to ignore it , and leave her to it , and when she calms down I go over and tell her well done for calming down and give her a cuddle. BUT I dont give in and suddenly give her the nosh.

Weve been giving it to her since having very bad vomiting last week , so now she thinks it will be a daily occurrence.

Its happening every hour or so and its driving me crazy. I cant spend my days like this , by the end I have a headache and IM frazzled. I can barely get things done as she comes over and pushes me , whilst growling .

I think a lot of it is sheer frustration in not being able to say much , but we have had some breakthroughs in communication the last 3 days as she started to copy sounds a lot more and can say pop, burp, more , bye bye and mumum.

Ive also tried distractions , but she literally throws the things I offer her or doesnt even respond to me trying to show her to play with sonething.

A friend saw it this week and suggested may be a speech therapist,as she was hardly saying anything up to Mon this week. She said to just to rule out anything, (glue ear?) Im not sure I need to worry at 18mths ??????????????????

Its like right now , Im wanting to have some toast , but she will obviously want some , but shes already had 2 bowls of cereal and 3-4 crackers. Even if I chop up some fruit and offer that , she still be panting at me for mine and then it wil go into screams again if I dont (poor kid will end up bunged up with all that). Shes carb mad !!!!!
